Bathed in torrents of cascading sound, They Blind The Stars, And The Wild Team is a true musical adventure and Decoder Ring's best work yet - no small accomplishment given the critical, listener and award circuit praise already heaped on the band both locally and internationally. The album, which was recorded in the US with American producer Scott Colburn (Animal Collective, Arcade Fire), and co-produced by Decoder Ring, is the conclusion of a journey that began with the multi award winning soundtrack to the Australian film 'Somersault', and was swiftly followed by the critically acclaimed 'Fractions' in 2005. Since their return from North America in 2006 the band's members have dedicated themselves to a period of sonic exploration, resulting in the suite of sounds that form the core of this new release.
